Reefer is Nick Diamonds (Islands, The Unicorns) and L.A. hip-hop producer Daddy Kev (Busdriver, Freestyle Fellowship, Awol One). Mutual admirers of each other's work, the two developed a close friendship over the years after being introduced by avant-rapper Giovanni Marks (Subtitle). Reefer is Nick crafting his darkly tinted pop over the foundation of Kev's sweeping, smooth beats crafted from tropical samples with flourishes of steel guitar and ukelele. Their self-titled mini album, previously called The Life Narcotic, includes guest appearance by Busdriver and remixes from Dntel and Flying Lotus.
